The Easter Rebellion

For all those who are of Irish heritage and know some history of Ireland, today marks the anniversary of the well-know Easter Uprising. I am pretty interested in Ireland, its mythology, legends, culture, and including its history. Today, over in Dublin, the Irish honor the rebels who fought aganist its British occupants. The main purpose of this day in Ireland was pursuing a brekaway from British rule. Its the year 1916, the British were tangled between two conflicts, WWI and Ireland. Irish rebels wanted to gain independence from Great Britain, but they would not allow it. On this day, the Irish fought back the British Army and what became a full-fledged battle. Most of the fighting took place at the Dublin Post Office, in which you can still see the bullet holes in the columns. Although the Irish rebels were not successful, but it mark a beginning of gaining Irish independence. For those who are Irish, this is an important and interesting event on how Ireland became an independent country. In Dublin, it is considered an honorable day.
